Samenvatting

With the United States population steadily aging, interest concerning older driver mobility is intensifying. In order to address the issues pertaining to older drivers and to be mindful of the public's safety needs, industry and government agencies are supporting research to maximize safety for all drivers. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are aimed at improving motor vehicle safety and efficiency. Three systems under the umbrella of ITS are described that may impact older driver performance. Research is presented that addresses issues pertaining to In-vehicle Routing and Navigation Systems (IRANS), In-vehicle Safety Advisory and Warning Systems (IV-SAWS), and Collision Warning Systems (CWS). Results indicate that selective systems, which target limitations associated with aging, can be effective in improving older driver behavior and performance. Mobility is an important issue for elderly persons. For younger people, the concepts of independence and self-sufficiency are often taken for granted.
